From a post I put in the Big Game section a couple weeks ago; sorry for the repeat. This is my son's Venture Scout Crew (BSA) that I took that past season. Five boys got six deer. Boy Scouting is coming out witha hunting merit badge.
These are all rifle (as you can see), but next year we are going for archery elk, but I saw the question, so Ihope its OK I put this in bowhunting.
Wow Awesome!
Thanks, nodog.
It
was awesome. More rewarding and enjoyable than almost anything I have done hunting. You can find more of the story down in "Big Game" about Nov 27 or 28.
Only problem is that they might expect a similar success ratio next time. As with all hunting, luck and opportunity went our way on this hunt. When we go for archery elk they will learn about the other side of the ratio! Which is as much part of hunting as the kill!
I now have much more of an interest in making ethical, sporting, safe, fair chase hunting a true part of Scouting.
